In the vilest of ways, this Youtuber (who enjoyed consuming Beef thoroughly till 2014-15) is instigating mobs against fellow Indians, by painting them anti-national, as they refuse to surrender to the right-wing fraud narratives.
This is plain, open violence.
Not to mention what a nuisance this man has been.

I don't understand how this govt has not fallen. What more will it take?
The economy is ruined, children are getting brutalized, women raped, soldiers used as canon fodder for election campaigns, he's threatened our citizenship... What more will it take?
India is one of the most hostile countries for women, esp Dalit women.
The aggression Modi's supporters (mostly male) have shown towards GT, Rihanna et all is perfectly in proportion to how aggressive they are to Indian women. This episode is a peak into India's

Today is a day of mourning. For me, the prisons that lodge our poets, profs,activists & journalists are holier than the land on which temples stand.
As a Hindu, I'm ashamed. As a citizen, I'm appalled at this spectacle made for live television- in the middle of a pandemic.
If I could ask a question to our PM
@narendramodi
i'd ask this:
Do you regret spending Rs 29.9 bn on Sardar Patel statue, instead of spending it on hospitals?
Amitabh Bachchan can't clean his own f#$@&* house?! This is taxpayer money wasted* on cleaning a rich man's house.

Man who hasn't done a single worthwhile thing since that ball in 1996 that got Aamir Sohail.. is lashing out at a prolific fact checker who does more for India on a daily basis than he did in his entire career. 🤷🏾♀️
Haha.. Says a serial hate- monger, who has put so many lives in danger for his agenda. You disguising as a fact-checker is like Terrorists talking about peace.
Now post that you need money to survive and ask for donation for your website, no shame in living off by fooling…
The silence from other celebrity sportspersons- esp India's cricket demigods- is deafening.
Imagine a world in which

had the moral fibre to stand in solidarity.
Or imagine the outpouring of solidarity if Sachin was sitting on the streets...
@rahulkanwal
Rahul, it's not an 'investigation'. You need to refer to WHO's guidelines about reporting on a community that is unwell.
Tying it to their religion (or in the past tying HIV to sexual orientation) & stigmatizing already unwell ppl is predatory.
Pls don't call it journalism
India is the neighbour everyone hates. Every single country is the neighbourhood is getting this emergency supply, except India.
and we have
@narendramodi
to thank for this.
Go Asia! We will donate emergency supplies (1.8M masks, 210K test kits, 36K protective suits, plus ventilators & thermometers) to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan & Sri Lanka. Delivering fast is not easy, but we'll get it done!
Since the Tablighi Jamat story broke, Health & Home ministry has spent more time blaming Muslims than addressing kit shortages, migrant crisis, & free treatment.
They are yet to answer why TJ ppl weren't screened at the airport.

This woman has been completely okay "standing by and watching" minorities in India get pulverized by a ruling party *she* supports.

Thank you for your certificate of my journalism but whatever you think, my journalism teaches me to break a story, as soon as I get it. My debate continued to be on CBI and it's shake up. If it didn't suit your agenda, I am afraid, there is nothing I can do about it!
This is false. Ayushman Bharat is NOT a health scheme. Its an insurance scheme, with a long list of exclusions (if u own a fridge/landline etc)
Whereas Mohalla clinic is tax payer funded. Delhiites can walk-in & expect treatment, instead of having to qualify for it.

My skin crawls when BJP ministers talk of women & child empowerment.
Babies died w/o oxygen & these guys arrested the doctor. Women were raped by BJP MLA & these guys refused to remove him.

And the govt continues to lie about pretty much everything.

The great thing about Ranveer Singh's ass is that our "good" journalists are discussing it on prime time the same week as
-2 women were gangraped (Delhi/Hyd)
-Monkeypox arrived
-BJP leader in Meghalaya was caught running a brothel.
I don't see the funny.
When the govt starts shielding sex offenders, granting clemency to gangrapists.... it is is the textbook definition of “rape culture” - an environment in which rape is not simply common-place - it is normalized, excused, celebrated.
That's India today.

The Finance minister belongs to a Tamil Iyengar Brahmin family. This comment not only shows what an ignorant, power drunk leader she is but also furthers the propaganda ritual purity & Brahminism.
In Parliament Nirmala Sitharaman outlines steps taken by the Govt on the onion crisis .. In an interaction, also says she comes from a family where not much onion or garlic is consumed

I'm ashamed of the quality of journalism in India. No other beat can get away with this amount of shitty, unconfirmed reporting based on anonymous sources.
National security beat reporters are by far the most mediocre, & most TRP hungry.
@rahulkanwal
Its exactly your kind of reporting that has resulted in stigmatization of TB community, HIV community,& now there is a community of COVID19 patients who are getting hate instead of healthcare.
You should be ashamed, instd ur talking about it as if you are Ronan Farrow of covid19
WOW. wow!
The NCW chair attacking the brave Spanish woman for speaking up.
One of the uniquely sick things about

's mass rape culture is that people - women !! - care more about "defamation" instead of the actual horror inflicted on another woman. Disgusting.
Did you ever report the incident to Police? If not than you are totally an irresponsible person. Writing only on social media and defaming whole country is not good choice.
I spent the last 2years reporting on the Rohingya genocide. What's happened in the Indian Parliament today is exactly the same as Myanmar's 1982 Citizenship Law, which gave full citizenship only to 'national races'.

Country is proud of the sacrifice made by our braves in Ladakh. Today when I am speaking to people of Bihar, I will say the valour was of Bihar Regiment, every Bihari is proud of it. I pay tributes to the braves who laid down their lives for the nation: PM Narendra Modi
"Beauty" of democracy - where voters were made to look like fools & a fairly elected govt was toppled, on live television same week as a fact checker went to jail coz a bot got its feelings hurt.
Shekhar Gupta jis din retire hoga main mandir jaungi. Hazaar laanat.
Delhi has crossed 25,000 cases.
But patients are finding it difficult to access beds in hospitals for Covid-19 care.
Some said there was a mismatch with no.of vacant beds Delhi Corona app showed and what hospital authorities told them.
People are dying for want to food, transport, lack of testing etc and our govt is spending money on constructing grand projects.
If we have no money for testing, how do we have money for this?
Every single BJP voter is to blame for this.
Small-minded, hateful Hindu voters who think of "prosperity" as a zero-sum game that has to be stolen from minorities to be had by Hindus.
@rahulkanwal
I'm not a sit-at -home journalist. Can you please respond to me? Don't you think your reporting selectively stigmatised a community that needs medical attn- in complete violation of all sorts of media advisories given by global health orgs about reporting on infectious diseases
@sudhirchaudhary
You are a cheap, morally vacuum, bigoted hack who hasnt done an honest day's job in 2 decades at least. Don't throw around big words like "truth" & "reporting"
I hope this FIR results in action against you & your hateful channel that targets minorities. Cretin
My Inbox is filled with threats over the Atlantic article.
Meanwhile, Indian govt has gone from denying PPE/vent shortages to bulk procuring them/ banning exports etc.
That happened because health reporters broke stories. Bad news is not fake news. Stop threatening journalists
All of March & April Modi govt harassed Indian Muslims for what Tablighi Jamaat had done.
Now we have a Hindu temple...with is being allowed to remain open despite priests testing positive.
Cannot read any punditry starting with.. "lemme tell you why Modi remains so popular.."
He hasn't won a single state election in nearly 2 years. He's grabbed on to power- by horse trading, rigging the election, jailing dissidents.
No. They are treating Churchill exactly the way he deserves to be treated
He was blindingly racist to Indians, killed at least 4mn at one go during the Bengal famine because everything from India was directed towards war efforts.
White ppl need to stop calling him a statesman.
Dr Sudhakar had said his colleagues were not provided N-95 masks & were asked to use one mask for 15 days.
He was first suspended, then accused of spreading misinformation, & them police came knocking....
After all the banging of pots& pans...
For 6yrs, Modi govt has been opening AIIMS in every state- claiming it solved all health problems. This pandemic has shown us what a big fat lie that was
Why is M.P govt's entire staff checked into a plush pvt hosps when
#Bhopal
has an AIIMS? Can
@ChouhanShivraj
explain this?
The fact that
@Twitter
does not do this in countries where black & brown people live is what enables fascist leaders in those countries.
You can't respect democracy only in your own country while screwing over the rest of the world.
@jack
@TwitterIndia
There is a media gag in place, doctors have been threatened to not speak out against lack of PPE kits, & the health ministry says we have no local transmission (w/o scaling up testing)
Genuinely struggling to understand how we can continue reporting in this Orwellian setting.
By the time this is over, i hope Indians will start voting for politicians who will invest in GOVT hospitals.
I hope we will understand there is no such thing as FREE healthcare. It is paid by our taxes.
Day after the biggest scam becomes public, no mention of BJP on the front pg of India's most "courageous" newspaper.
